Grand Rapids Public Museum

The Grand Rapids Public Museum, located on the bank of the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, is among the oldest history museums in the United States. It was founded in 1854 as the "Grand Rapids Lyceum of Natural History". In 1971, the Public Museum became the first museum to be accredited by the American Association of Museums. The museum includes a cafe, a gift shop, and a 1928 Spillman carousel, which is situated in a pavilion over the Grand River. A Wurlitzer #157 Band Organ that plays 165 rolls provides the carousel's music. The Museum building also houses the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium. The current Pearl Street N.W. location, built in 1994, replaced the former Art Deco location on Jefferson Avenue S.E.; that building now serves as a high school and is connected to the GRPM's Community Archives and Research Center (CARC) and the City of Grand Rapids Archives. The GRPM brings in a variety of traveling exhibitions annually ranging among topics related to science, history and culture.

Pere Gabriel Richard Elementary School

The Pere Gabriel Richard Elementary School is a public school located at 176 McKinley Avenue in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. History As the Grosse Pointes rapidly gained population in the 1920s, the Grosse Pointe Public School System constructed four new schools to serve the influx of students. The last of these was Pere Gabriel Richard Elementary School. In 1928, the school board approved the site for this school and issued a bond for its construction. In 1929, they commissioned architect Robert O. Derrick to design the building. The original design was twice as large as the current building, but when construction bids were high, Derrick scaled back the plans. A.W. Kutsche and Company was awarded the contract to construct the scaled-down building, and construction was completed in 1930, and opened in September of that year. Description Pere Gabriel Richard Elementary School is a two and one-half story French Renaissance Revival brick building trimmed with stone. It has a high slate-covered mansard roof that contains a third story. A flat-roofed addition was added in 1962. The facade is asymmetrical, with an off-center main entrance set in a shallow projecting mass. A hip-roof mass at either end projects slightly. References External links Official website
Quincy Dredge Number Two

The Quincy Dredge Number Two (previously known as the Calumet and Hecla Dredge Number One) is a dredge currently sunk in shallow water in Torch Lake, across M-26 from the Quincy Mining Company Stamp Mills Historic District and just east of Mason in Osceola Township. It was constructed to reclaim stamping sand from the lake for further processing, and was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1978. History The Reclaiming Sand Dredge was constructed for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company in 1914 by the Bucyrus Company of South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and designated the Calumet and Hecla Dredge Number One. The dredge was used to reclaim previously-milled sand deposited in the lake after it had gone through the stamp mill. The dredged sand contained copper that earlier stamping technology had not been able to separate out. Improvements in stamping efficiency and cost increases in traditional shaft mining made these sand tailings economically feasible to reclaim and re-stamp. Calumet and Hecla used the dredge at their Lake Linden Reclamation Plant until 1951. In 1951, the Quincy Mine purchased the dredge and designated it as Quincy Dredge Number Two, using it at their own reclamation facility, which had been in operation since 1943. The mine's Quincy Dredge Number One sank in 1956, and Dredge Number Two was used until 1967, when it too sank during a winter lay-up. By this time, copper prices had fallen low enough that the reclamation process was not profitable, and the Quincy Mine abandoned both the dredge and its reclamation facility. Description The dredge is a large, box-like vessel that was used to remove sand from the bottom of the lake. The vessel has a steel hull measuring 110 feet (34 m) long, 56 feet (17 m) wide, and nine feet (2.7 m) deep. The decking overhangs the hull by eight feet (2.4 m) per side, giving an overall width of 72 feet (22 m). The dredge could process over 10,000 short tons (9,100 t) of sand per day, and had a 141-foot (43 m) suction pipe that could work in 115 feet (35 m) of water. The dredge is currently sunk into shallow water, and canted over to one side. Most of the superstructure and the large boom are visible above the waterline. References External links Multiple photos

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Ransom B. Shelden Jr. In 1852, Ransom B. Shelden Sr. arrived in Houghton, opening the first store in the area and platting the section that would become the village of Houghton in 1861. Shelden began several copper mines in the area and, in 1865, established the First National Bank of Houghton. Ransom B.

Presa Redridge

La Presa Redridge es una presa de acero que cruza el río Salmon Trout en Redridge, condado de Houghton, Michigan, Estados Unidos. Terminada en 1901, es una presa de contrafuertes de losa plana construida con acero, un material relativamente raro para la construcción de presas, que suelen ser de tierra, hormigón o mampostería. La mayoría de las fuentes indican que fue una de las tres únicas presas de este tipo construidas en los Estados Unidos, siendo las otras dos la presa Ashfork-Bainbridge, construida en Arizona en 1898, y la presa del lago Hauser, construida en Montana en 1907, que colapsó al cabo de un año de su construcción.​ En 1894, antes de la construcción de la presa de acero, la Compañía Minera del Atlántico construyó una presa de madera para suministrar agua a la fábrica de sellos del Atlántico, que extraía cobre de la roca de la zona. Con el crecimiento de la fábrica de sellos del Atlántico y la construcción de la fábrica de la Compañía Minera del Báltico en las cercanías, el embalse demostró ser insuficiente y en 1901 se construyó la presa de acero. Fue diseñada por J. F. Jackson y construida por la Compañía de Puentes y Hierro de Wisconsin. La presa de madera permaneció en su lugar, sumergida, aguas arriba de la presa de acero.

Renaissance High School (Michigan)

Renaissance High School is a public, magnet high school in the city of Detroit, Michigan. Founded in 1978 on the former site of Catholic Central High School, Renaissance graduated its first senior class in 1981. In 2005, a new building was dedicated at the site of the former Sinai Hospital. Renaissance is one of four magnet high schools in the Detroit Public Schools district; (the others being Cass Technical High School, Detroit School of Arts, and Communication & Media Arts High School). Entrance is based on test scores and middle school grades. Academics Students at Renaissance must take seven courses a semester and complete 200 community service hours in order to graduate. Although students take only six courses a day, their schedules rotate to accomplish the seven course requirement. One way that the school provides for students to fulfill the 200-hour service requirement is through its JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps) program. Admissions Admission to the school is selective. Originally, 8th and 9th grade students from public and private schools took a proficiency exam before admission. A combination of a student's grades in middle school or junior high and the exam score determined school admission. This policy was changed in 1994 to let transfer students attend the school, although they must fulfill the same graduation requirements as other students. In 2006, over 75% of the student body was African-American. Renaissance opened in 1978 with first-year ("freshman") and second-year ("sophomore") students. Its first four-year graduating class received their diplomas in June 1982.
